2. 5-Hydroxytryptophan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Hydroxytryptophan

   5-HTP is produced from the amino acid tryptophan through the action of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase. Tryptophan hydroxylase is one of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Production of 5-HTP is the rate-limiting step in 5-HT (serotonin) synthesis. 5-HTP is normally rapidly converted to 5-HT by amino acid decarboxylase. [1]

3. Oxitriptan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxitriptan

   MDMA is an empathogenic-entactogenic and serotonergic psychotropic drug used primarily for recreational, though sometimes also therapeutic, purposes.Among users of MDMA, the serotonergic effects of the drug are often of particular interest and concern: After consuming MDMA, serotonin concentrations are greatly reduced in the brain. 5-HTP is necessary for serotonin production and its ...

4. Serotonin reuptake inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_reuptake_inhibitor

   A serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) is a type of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) by blocking the action of the serotonin transporter (SERT). This in turn leads to increased extracellular concentrations of serotonin and, therefore, an increase in serotonergic ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryptophan_hydroxylase

   Analogously to phenylalanine hydroxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase, this enzyme uses (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4) and dioxygen as cofactors. [ 2 ] In humans, the stimulation of serotonin production by administration of tryptophan has an antidepressant effect [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and inhibition of tryptophan hydroxylase (e.g. by p ...

   Serotonin (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ t oʊ n ɪ n, ˌ s ɪər ə-/) [6] [7] [8] or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.Its biological function is complex, touching on diverse functions including mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes such as vomiting and vasoconstriction.

9. Carbidopa/oxitriptan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbidopa/oxitriptan

   Carbidopa/oxitriptan (developmental code name EVX-101), or carbidopa/5-hydroxytryptophan (carbidopa/5-HTP), is a combination of 5-hydroxytryptophan (oxitriptan), a serotonin precursor, and carbidopa, a peripherally selective aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor, which is under development as an antidepressant for the treatment of depressive disorders.
